DISINFO: Ukrainian nationalists linked to the massacre at a college in Crimea

SUMMARY

The ISIS hand cannot reach Kerch. It’s all more like a Ukrainian trace. It can be either some official structures or nationalists, who are ready to do anything while they hate Russia.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. At least 19 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in the recent gun attack at Kerch college in Crimea.

Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. The European Union does not recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea and continues to condemn this violation of international law, and states that Russia’s illegal actions remain a direct challenge to international security, with grave implications for the international legal order that protects the unity and sovereignty of all States. In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a measure underscoring that the mid-March referendum in Crimea that led to the peninsula’s annexation by Russia “has no validity”.
